A Light in the Darkness

🦋 💜 🌿 A light in the darkness I have cried through a million tissues, been angry, felt like exploding, and other a lot of nasty stuff. Losing my father, the only parent I’ve had my whole life, in 2021 and officially being an orphan at the young age of 34, was absolutely horrible. But […]

Creative Medicine for Election Anxiety + Halloween Photos!

🦋 💜 🌿 How are you? Hope you are well! Here in the USA we have our election coming next Tuesday and tension is in the air. I’ve been really anxious about the future because of it. Like since July, but yes definitely now. CREATIVE DISTRACTIONS are the order of the day for me. My […]

Autumnal photos, costumes, pumpkin whip…& work life balance

🦋 💜 🌿 How is your week going? Hope it is going well! My husband and I have been working on hand-sewing a Halloween costume. We’ve been learning how to sew clothes over the past few months, which is pretty cool. It is a useful hobby. Deciding to make a costume really put us into […]

What’s Happening + Not Happening 2024

🦋 💜 🌿 How are you doing? I hope this message finds you well. A lot has been happening on my end, and I wanted to share a quick update with you. I’m mindful that I have limited energy for what I can do in 2024. I’m taking things slower lately to avoid burnout and […]

I learned this 7 years ago + I still need a reminder

How has your week been? Hi! How has your week been? My husband and I have been sick. I’m finally feeling on the mend but not quite there. Here’s a few things we’ve been doing to wait this cold out Shows: I never watched the show when it was on TV. But I started watching […]

Do you ever ask yourself…

It’s October – do you like this month? Something about it gives me such joy! I smile at the thought that IT’S OCTOBER! Things are starting to feel like fall: apple picking, experimenting with different homemade pumpkin drinks and a little nip in the air when I sit outside in the morning. My favorite ritual […]

How is your relationship with yourself? Are you communicating well?

How has your week been? I’ve been digging out of a hole, from being both exhausted and behind on my todo list. (Last week, I had to deep clean my house all of a sudden due to a problem and it was a lot.) I am starting to recover and it feels like maybe I […]

What works so well lately: my process

As you might have noticed, I’m someone who has a lot of goals, who really wants to make progress on them… and I’m also human. And so all of this has been a journey, especially in the last few years since 2021, when life got hard, my dad died, etc. I used to have boundless […]

Secret Weapon to Meaningful Progress

How are you doing? I’m hanging in there! It has been a busy start to September and I’m trying to balance my self care and my work. Today I’m sharing a relieved phrase repeated from entrepreneurs, writers or creators “I finally don’t feel alone.” Sometimes accompanied by happy tears. These words are from creative folks […]

Perfectionism + Black Holes

How’s the first week of September treating you? I know. September happened fast. ME: I’m trying to enjoy being outside as much as I can because winter comes early. It might snow in October, it’s that kind of cold. But I want to take a minute today to talk about perfectionism. You think you know […]
